out of sync footage

[Tom Wolsky]

The most common cause of this is that your video was shot using a 32K audio sample rate and you captured it using a setting for a 48K audio sample rate. A little more information about what you’re doing would be helpful, or we’re just guessing here.

Please give your full system specifications, what computer, what drives, what camera or deck, how everything’s connected, what settings are on the media, what settings you’re using in Final Cut, and finally what version of the software, of the OS, and of QuickTime you are using.

All the best,

Tom

Hi Tom,

Thanks for your reply. Regarding the system I have etc… I own an iMac (24″ /3.06GHZ/2GB/500GB/SD/AP/BT) and Final Cut Express 4. The camera I use is a Panasonic NV-GS180EB (2.3 mega pixel) (still picture recording). I’ve imported footage before using a firewire cable and never had any issues with the sync, and I do not remember making any changes to the settings on my camera or FCE. I was wondering if there is a way I can fix things without having to re-import footage… Still learning my way around FC as I did a short course on it last year..
